EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Istanbul in 1680. The panoramic view showcases the magnificent Strait of Bosphorus, with its sparkling waters and majestic ships sailing through. In the foreground, we see the iconic Golden Horn dividing the city into two distinct parts. The line engraving from Guillaume Jospeh Grelot's "Relation nouvelle d un voyage a Constantinople" provides a detailed glimpse into this vibrant metropolis during that era. The image captures the essence of late Ottoman Empire trade and commerce, as numerous ships navigate through these strategic waterways. As our eyes wander across this historical masterpiece, we notice a charming lighthouse standing tall on the waterfront, guiding seafarers safely towards port. The intricate engravings depict every corner of Istanbul meticulously - from its grand plan to notable landmarks such as Scutari and Seraglio. This artwork is not just an ordinary map; it is a window into history. It allows us to envision what life was like in Constantinople before it became modern-day Istanbul. We can almost hear the sounds of merchants haggling at marketplaces and feel the energy emanating from this thriving hub of cultural exchange. "The Granger Collection" has once again brought us an extraordinary piece from their Carousel collection – one that transports us back in time and immerses us in Turkey's rich heritage.
